ChannelBlast will launch today three live, ad-sponsored interactive streaming video programs that allow visitors to interact with others via chat rooms and webcams (source: Adotas).

First a disclaimer. I don’t take any spiffs to mention a company or product on this Blog. I’m a former journalist, and I only cover something if I find it interesting myself or for my largely anonymous readers. I’ve gotten some e-mails from folks asking if this is my day job, so I’ve updated my…

After all of the controversy between YouTube and NBC regarding the SNL “Lazy Sunday” Cupcake video, it would appear that the companies have been through marriage therapy. NBC (a unit of GE) announced yesterday that it would use YouTube to promote its fall television lineup in a partnership that draws attention to the Internet’s growing…
Here’s the ever-popular “Comcast guy asleep on couch” video, as well as an interesting video response. Which company or employee is next? Could be you. Don’t pick your nose in public.
Before today, the last contest I won was a liquor wagon in high school. My dad took it all away, but left me with the red wagon. But thanks in part to you, dear readers, I’ve won the first weekly “Be the Bee” prize. Here’s the note I received: Dear ‘nalts’, Congratulations, you are the…
